Decorated Māori celestial navigator, Sir Hekenukumaingāiwi Pūhipi, KNZM, MBE (Te Uri o Hina, Te Rarawa) has been welcomed on to his marae, Te Uri o Hina in Pukepoto. Discussions are now underway to finalise the funeral proceedings as the first mourners arrive to mourn the leader.

Spokesperson for the Tōkihi ki Tua judges collective, Eli Smith says "this is to clear the judges who were not present of any wrongdoing. Yes, there were some present- but we just come back to interact, to sit and talk- and we were caught in the middle."

How can a blade of grass acknowledge the forest, how can a drop of rain acknowledge the ocean. People of today may never be able to truly pay tribute to the esteemed leader, Edward Te Rangihiwinui Tauroa.
